''The player himself has already set his sights on a regular place in the Saints team on completion of his move.'' to me, that line suggests he's been told he isn't a ''certain starter'' and has been brought in to add depth, but will be given the oppertunity to prove himself... i really hope this wasn't instead of ward...

never seen him play tbf. he's one of those ''either love or hate'' players for exeter and he's not a regular for them by any means. i hope this is just a squad depth signing, would hate for this to be instead of ward.

it's seabourne guess that must mean the ward deal is off.

doubt it, they missed the deadline for paying off the clubs according to bbc earlier.

based on this so far, i really think we could give the skates a game they look truly awful.

i love leon best

tweet: Lets clear this up once and for all-no leaked announcement, no premature announcement, just someone at Sky getting things v wrong!

it's the club, i think the media dept. usually sent out the tweets

infected big toe

based on how that tweet is written, i wouldn't read anything into it's full meaning.

weird, unlike sky to get something like that wrong. they have so many connections all over the world, agents etc - so can get the goss on most deals. at a guess they've just jumped the gun on it slightly.

what does it actually say? is it ''Sky sports understands that southampton are closing in on the signing....''' or does it say we have actually signed him? i've missed it. i still believe it'll happen tbf

yep

Solent understands #saintsfc are not signing elliot ward from coventry despite wat certain media are claiming tonite oook then good english tbf

Kaboul is left out because of an ''infected big toe'' i used to hate our excuses before a player was sold....but that's a good one.

he's been on the bench most of the season, up until their last league game on Saturday.

they're usually right either way tbf. + ward is not in the cov team. tonight if this doesn't happen now, there will be alot of red faces. including mine.

i believe it'll be in the region of 250-300k.

Great signing! obviously caught up in the snow, he was meant to sign last Tuesday

Seabourne is a left sided CB - exeter fans don't really rate him. the general comments on their forums are -- ''more money than sense?'' ''why would southampton want him?'' ''have they run out of CB's or something?'' jury's out for me, haven't ever seen him play though tbf.

unearthed this on 606, not posted by our fans, but posted by a forest fan on their board http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A61732721 i also heard that we were interested in him in the summer, and there was another link with him a few weeks back. might be something in this...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A61715108 you'd have thought he would get bored replying.... oh and on another topic, a forest fan posted saying he's heard rumours of Nathan Tyson coming down to us. fwiw i heard we were after him in the summer. (and then there was another link with him a few weeks ago)

it's garbage, not sure how they get away with it. apparently this is on for 13 nights as well. wooooo..! tbh if anything i bet the ghosts are sat around in the corner laughing at them lot.

i had a look on the PNE forums last night and that was the opinion of about 90% of them too. will be a cracking signing.
